Abstract

Docking studies of the previously synthesized retinoid analogues were performed using the AutoDock Tools - 1.5.4 in order to study the interactions between the retinoid compounds and RXR-alpha (RXRα) receptor protein. The RXRα receptor protein was taken from the Protein Databank in*.pdb format (3FUG). The binding energies of the interaction in different conformations were obtained and the best conformation fit was chosen for the representation of the each compound. Compound 17 appears as the most strongly linked molecule (ΔG = -10.90 kcal/mol) to the RXRα receptor protein.
